Zimbabwe: sanctions should go
By African Bulletin on March 29, 2010
President Jacob Zuma said that Travel restrictions slapped on Zimbabwean officials should be lifted to help the unity government function effectively. He is mediating in a dispute between Zanu-PF and Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai’s MDC party.
He also said that the two parties had agreed a package of measures to rescue the unity government, but noted that one side in the power-sharing government was subject to international sanctions while the other was not. Zuma has previously urged western powers to lift sanctions imposed before the two rival sides agreed on the unity government in 2008. The government is driven by conflict and Mugabe said on Friday he would implement terms of the agreement with Tsvangirai only if the West removed sanctions on his allies. The talks, which began on Thursday and were continuing on Friday, are expected to end on Monday.
